Shippert Medical 11S-SO500-08AS Rhino Rocket Expandacell Sponge Slimline (x)

The Shippert Medical 11S-SO500-08AS Rhino Rocket Expandacell Sponge Slimline is an innovative and effective nasal packing solution designed to control anterior and posterior epistaxis (nosebleeds). Known for its high absorbency, comfortable fit, and ease of application, this product is widely used in emergency care, otolaryngology (ENT), and post-surgical recovery to manage nasal hemorrhaging. The Slimline version offers a slimmer profile, making it suitable for patients with smaller nasal cavities or those requiring a less bulky packing.

Key Features:

High Absorbency with Expandacell Technology: The Rhino Rocket Expandacell Sponge utilizes advanced Expandacell technology, which allows the sponge to absorb fluids rapidly while expanding to conform to the nasal cavity. This expansion provides gentle yet effective pressure, helping to control bleeding by tamponading the blood vessels. The high absorbency ensures that the nasal packing efficiently manages blood and other fluids, making it ideal for moderate to severe epistaxis.

Slimline Design for Enhanced Comfort: The Slimline version of the Rhino Rocket is designed for patients who require a more comfortable and less intrusive nasal packing solution. Its slim profile reduces bulk while maintaining effective hemostasis, ensuring that patients experience minimal discomfort during insertion, placement, and removal. The Slimline design is particularly useful for patients with smaller nasal passages or those requiring a less obstructive option.

Soft, Biocompatible Material: The Expandacell sponge is made from soft, biocompatible material that conforms comfortably to the shape of the nasal cavity. This ensures that the nasal packing does not irritate the delicate nasal tissues, minimizing the risk of discomfort or injury. The gentle expansion of the sponge offers effective pressure without exerting excessive force on the nasal structures, promoting safe and patient-friendly treatment.

PVA (Polyvinyl Alcohol) Material for Smooth Application: The Rhino Rocket Expandacell Sponge is composed of PVA (polyvinyl alcohol), a highly absorbent and non-toxic material that becomes smooth and pliable when moistened. This feature makes insertion easier and more comfortable for the patient, as the sponge can glide smoothly into the nasal cavity without causing friction or irritation. The PVA sponge also becomes soft and flexible once in place, ensuring optimal patient comfort during the duration of the treatment.

Sterile and Single-Use: The Rhino Rocket Expandacell Sponge comes in sterile, single-use packaging, ensuring that the product is ready for immediate application in emergency or clinical settings. This sterile packaging minimizes the risk of infection, providing a safe option for both patients and healthcare providers. The single-use design also eliminates the need for reprocessing or cleaning, making it a convenient option for busy healthcare environments.

Ease of Insertion and Removal: The Rhino Rocket Slimline is designed for quick and easy insertion and removal. The compact sponge can be moistened and inserted smoothly into the nasal cavity using minimal force, and the cord allows for gentle removal when the treatment is complete. This streamlined application process makes the Rhino Rocket an ideal solution for both emergency room scenarios and routine clinical use.

Effective for Both Anterior and Posterior Epistaxis: The Rhino Rocket Expandacell Sponge Slimline is versatile enough to manage both anterior and posterior epistaxis, making it a valuable tool in a variety of clinical settings. Its ability to absorb large volumes of blood and expand to fill the nasal cavity ensures that it can effectively manage nosebleeds from different locations within the nasal passages.

Treated with Antibiotic Protection: Some versions of the Rhino Rocket Expandacell Sponge are treated with an antibiotic coating, which helps reduce the risk of bacterial infection while the sponge is in place. This added layer of protection is particularly useful in post-surgical settings or for patients at higher risk of infection.

Applications:

Management of Epistaxis: Effective for controlling both anterior and posterior nosebleeds in emergency, clinical, and post-surgical settings.
Post-Surgical Care: Ideal for use after nasal or sinus surgeries to prevent excessive bleeding and promote proper healing.
ENT Procedures: Commonly used by otolaryngologists (ENT specialists) to manage nasal hemorrhaging during and after medical procedures.

Its slimline design makes it ideal for patients requiring a less bulky nasal packing option, while the Expandacell technology ensures effective hemostasis for both anterior and posterior nosebleeds.
